I've been trying to import photos recently and the operation always
fails after importing a few (most of the time only one) photos, and
then it would pop up a dialog saying "X photos failed to import due to
a file or hardware error". Retrying again would (sometimes) import
some more, and if I keep trying, eventually either shotwell crashes,
or I can import the entire collection. I am using shotwell 0.11.6, and
ubuntu 11.10, but it's happened with prior versions as well (but not
all the versions, I remember it didn't used to happen).

I didn't capture a backtrace but the assertion for the crash is:

ERROR:src/MediaViewTracker.c:510:media_accumulator_real_uninclude:
assertion failed: (self->photos > 0)
Aborted

Running shotwell in terminal results in lots of:

�C9 : data corrupted at 1630556
0* hd : data corrupted at 1762984
�$xd : data corrupted at 1630487
: data corrupted at 1642091

and the like. Setting SHOTWELL_LOG=1 produced the attached log file.
The problem happens regardless if I am importing directly from the
camera card, or from a local directory after copying the photos over.
I don't think the photos are corrupted, since if I keep trying all of
them eventually import fine.
